Welcome to 2026 and The Rhythm of the Road Podcast! If you're starting the new year feeling a little off-kilter, this episode offers a fresh perspective on what it means to live a balanced life. In this episode, Jeremy explores the concept of balance as an active, ongoing process rather than a static state. Taking inspiration from a personal experience with a Gibbon balance board, this discussion challenges the common perception of balance as a perfect 50/50 split.

We cover how balance applies to physical health, nutrition, work/life (spoiler alert...this doesn't exist), and personal relationships. Discover how constant adjustment, much like a pilot's gyroscope, is essential for maintaining alignment and well-being. This episode aims to shift your thinking, encourage curiosity, and give you insights for a healthier, more agile life ahead.
